  1. Re:huh? on LinuxWorld Summary · · Score: 1

    And for existing PS2 owners, $200 for another PC in the house is a pretty great deal.

    The PS2 was a gift! I swear it! Why would I want to spend untold hours play FFX or something? Get real! I've got a life...no, really....I do!

    Either you had two feet already on the Microsoft side of the fence or you are very fickle.

  3. Re:Leadership Structure on Linus Does Not Scale · · Score: 1

    Yes! Let's make a 2 party system who will bicker and fight over ever little detail. Also, let's set up a whole system of Lobbyists and Special Interest Groups to sway the newly elected Linux Congress.

    Nice thoughts.

  4. Re:Chessmaster? on 4th Computer Chess Tournament · · Score: 3, Funny

    Because this sticker wouldn't help sell copies of the game:

    "Chessmaster 9000. We finished 12th in the All-World Computer Chess Competition!"

    Probably too much risk for them. Maybe they would enter the program under a pseudo-name?

  5. GenCon? on SJGames Layoffs · · Score: 1
    Yikes! I hope they still plan on making a showing at GenCon.

    If so, there will probably be some long faces in the booth.

  6. competition is grand on Intel Pushes Low-Power Crusoe Challenger · · Score: 4

    Wonder what their release schedule would have been pre-Transmeta?

  8. Re:He's an idiot. on Is The Virtual Community A Myth? · · Score: 1

    Who has time to log on and build virtual relationships in a virtual community when you are working two jobs and trying to raise your family?

  9. Re:Better Car Analogy on Slashdot Database Compromised! · · Score: 1

    A better "car in the parking log" scenerio is one where you see that a car has its lights on. You also notice that the door is unlocked.

    What do you do?

    Me, I turn off the lights hoping I'll be thanked rather than yelled at for violating their privacy.

    The world shouldn't be such an ugly place...

  10. Microsoft's gift to us on Microsoft's 'Freedom to Innovate' Brochure · · Score: 2

    Voices from the FIN:
    "All of us owe MSFT
    a measure of appreciation for creating an "operating system" which allows almost anyone with interest to become semi-literate in computer operation. This gift is world-wide and has aided the US in becoming the leading nation is technology."
    From a FIN site visitor


    ...and grammer.

    I'd personally like to thank Bill for his "gift".

  11. features on Which Digital Camera Do You Recommend? · · Score: 1
    I have a HP C30. Bought it last year. It of course is outdated now, but I have been very happy with it so far. Some features to keep in mind while searching for a digital camera:
    • Zoom - digital or optical? $$ for a optical zoom. I have hardly ever used my digital x2 zoom because it sucks.
    • Battery life
    • how quickly can the camera take shots? I miss a lot of shots on my current camera because of the low "snap rate".
    • Transfer technology. The C30 uses the serial port. Slow, but I haven't found this to be too big of a deal.
    • Of course picture quality - don't even consider anything less than 1MP
    C-Net has some good reviews.
  12. Re:Good...weeded out the idiot day traders on Tech Stocks Tumble · · Score: 1

    Do you have numbers on how much capital these "day traders" have added to the market?

    I bet compared to institutional investors, the nickel-and-dime day traders would have a very hard time inflating a companies stock price to the apparently ridiculous prices we've recently seen.
